About grip size
Match the label to the Grip Size options on this page: G2 (4 1/4) means grip size 2 with a 4 1/4-inch handle circumference. Higher G numbers mean larger handles.
| Grip size | Circumference (inches) |
|---|---|
| G1 | 4 1/8 |
| G2 | 4 1/4 |
| G3 | 4 3/8 |
| G4 | 4 1/2 |
Choosing your fit
- Smaller hands: start by comparing G1 or G2. For a fuller handle, compare G3 or G4. These are starting points, not a fixed rule.
- Try the racquet with your usual wrapping. As a starting check, leave about an index finger's width between your fingertips and palm.
- Between sizes? Usually choose the smaller size and build up with an overgrip. A handle that is too large is harder to reduce.
Only the sizes listed in this product's selector are offered for this model. Handle shape also affects fit, so try it in-store if possible.

Play fast with the HEAD SPEED MP L 2026, a lighter and more maneuverable version of the SPEED MP 2026, designed to be easier to swing and quicker through the air. With an ideal blend of power and control, this racquet is a strong choice for intermediate players and advanced juniors looking for a responsive all-round performance.
Part of the bestselling SPEED series endorsed by Jannik Sinner, the SPEED MP L 2026 sits at the center of HEAD’s ‘Tennis Tour Racquet Compass’. The 16×19 SPEED string pattern delivers precise power, while being 5 grams heavier than the previous version for a slight increase in power without sacrificing maneuverability.
This model also introduces Hy-Bor, a high-tech aerospace-inspired material mix placed in the shaft to enhance perceived stability and HEAD’s signature solid impact feel. With Auxetic 2.0 technology, you’ll enjoy a more connected feel to the ball, while Directional Drilling and Power Grommets allow greater string movement for improved power and touch. Metallic colors and a matte finish complete the modern update to the SPEED series’ iconic black-and-white look.
